Actor: Thank you.

Chapter 906 Art is explosion
Art is an explosion.

The person who has the most say on this point is the famous Hollywood director Michael Bay, nicknamed "Explosive Bay".

He is also the director of Transformers.

Because human nature contains a strong desire for destruction.

Even from a psychological perspective, men's "virgin complex" is not only due to the psychological and physiological pursuit of "purity".

Another point is that males are easily excited by the sight of blood.

This is an instinct engraved in our genes.

The reason why a lot of action movies and horror movies filled with blood and blood are so popular is that they satisfy this psychological need.

I remember when Sylvester Stallone screened "First Blood", it amazed film producers around the world with just a 40-minute clip.

Five minutes after the screening, all the rights to "Rambo" from all over the world were sold out!
What everyone is looking for is blood and explosions.

To sum it up in two words: exciting!

Audiences love to see something exciting.

So when the conditions are right, it's not just Hollywood blockbusters that are exciting and explosive.

Domestic dramas have also started to use this approach.

Feng Xiaogang used the art of explosions a lot in "Assembly".

After the technology was popularized, not only movies but also TV series tried to play tricks in this regard.

There are generally two ways to shoot explosion scenes.

Special effects and non-special effects.

In terms of effect, real shots without special effects are definitely better.

Michael Bay and Nolan are old customers who insist on real shooting.

When Hollywood was filming "Lethal Weapon 3" that year.

This is the "Lethal Weapon" that Li Lianjie later filmed as a fourth sequel and made his debut overseas with.

The scene of blowing up the building in this movie was actually shot.

Blow up the old office building of Orlando City Government.

Because after the Orlando city government built the new building, it didn't have the money to demolish the old building.

The crew just happened to come and do some explosion stuff, and we hit it off immediately, it was a double happiness.

However, there are also disadvantages to shooting real explosion scenes.

That is more dangerous.

It requires a very professional and experienced special effects team to operate it.

If this job is not done properly, someone could die.

Today, in a corner of Hengdian Film and Television City, a crew called "Secret Drawings" is filming an explosion scene.

The story of the film is about the Kuomintang's espionage activities after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The original work is an old black-and-white movie produced by the August 65st Film Studio in .

This movie is still quite a classic in the hearts of the older generation.

It has to be said that it was because of Zhang Yuan.

After the success of "Insidious", current investors buy into spy-war-themed works without even thinking twice.

They are all waiting to reap the profits while the market is hot.

So this old work was also dug out and adapted and remade.

When Zhang Yuan passed by and saw the warning sign, he felt that the name "Secret Drawings" was familiar, but it was not because he had seen the old movie.

He really hasn't seen it.

But with a loud bang on the set, he remembered everything.

This adapted TV series is directed by Guo Jingyu, a famous "brother-supporting" director in the Chinese film and television circles and a man from Chengde who is often teased by the audience.

They are all "brother-supporting demons", so his younger brother Yang Zhigang must be in this movie.

Come to think of it, there is nothing to laugh at about supporting your younger brother.

They are brothers.

Yang Zhigang simply took his mother's surname, and because his uncle had no children, he was adopted by a relative since he was a child.

So even though they don't have the same surname, they are related by blood.

It's not a big deal if family members help each other.

It's not like this in every industry.

Compared with promoting the talented regardless of personal connections, there are definitely more people in society who appoint people based on personal connections.

Although these two brothers are often ridiculed.

But you have to admit that Director Guo is quite capable after having been around for so many years.

This person can both write and direct.

If his acting was as bad as the audience said, he wouldn't have been able to keep working.

His plays are still very popular among middle-aged and elderly people, and he has basically made a profit over the years.

After he founded his own company, he served as producer of a series of works.

Works like "Soul Ferry" and "Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty" have proved that he is not the kind of person who makes bad movies.

It’s just that the audience for early Anti-Japanese War, spy war, and Republican dramas were not young people who were more active on the Internet.

Later online works targeting young people are still very popular.

Director Guo is a man who has some aspirations.

But the bad thing is that he has some pursuits.

Because I have pursuits, I have requirements for my own works.

If he was really like Wang Jing, who was willing to shoot however he wanted and finished work earlier, this incident wouldn't have happened today.

Today, the crew of "Secret Drawings" is filming an explosion scene.

That's why they put the sign outside the fence.

Afraid that someone would break in and hurt outsiders.

But the problem is that outsiders were not hurt, but "insiders" were hurt.

And she is my real wife, Director Guo’s younger brother.

In this scene, the villain in the film enters the air-raid shelter and blows up an ammunition depot with a lighter.

The desired effect is that the spy turns and runs after the explosion.

Flames and explosions raged in the passage behind him and rushed straight to his back.

It seemed as if it was going to swallow the person in the next second. At this critical moment, the spy dodged and escaped successfully.

Give the audience visual stimulation.

A real scene was specially built and a small air-raid shelter was constructed.

Real explosives were used.

The actor who plays the villain spy is Yang Zhigang.

Before filming began, Guo Jing repeatedly emphasized that the film had to be done in one go and the effects had to be explosive.

After listening for a long time, the special effects team summed it up in four words.

Increase the dosage!

If you want a better explosion effect, just use more explosives.

then……

boom!
The effect is quite good.

When Zhang Yuan used the same action as "Dongguanzi" to climb over the railing and ran to the set.

All the staff at the scene covered their ears.

No one came forward to see what the actors were like.

They are all like headless flies, spinning in circles.

This was so close that I was stunned.

Director Guo Jing is also a character who loves his soldiers like his own sons.

For this explosion scene, the crew were all outside.

After adjusting the angle and lighting, and turning on the camera, all staff members evacuated.

Afraid of accidents.

Only the actor, that is, his own younger brother, was left filming alone.

The scene was filled with smoke and dust.

The dirt on the ground was shaken into the air.

"Fuck!"

It wasn't until a few seconds later that someone started cursing.

"Zhigang is still inside!"

Only then did several strong prop guys steady themselves and run towards the scene.

Director Guo did a good job with the safety measures. For fear of injury, he even built a large iron gate to block the scene.

But at this moment the big iron gate had collapsed.

Three or four brothers came forward to move it, but they couldn't do it.

The door is like this, how can the people inside be okay?
These big brothers were really anxious, but the more anxious they were, the less cooperative they became. They tried all sorts of things but couldn't get anything done.

At this juncture, they suddenly felt a lightness in their hands.

"oops……"

After reacting, he looked back.

Then I saw a young man pulling the big iron gate that several people could not lift up with both hands and pushing it to the wall.

"What strength." The eldest brother exclaimed.

People who make a living in this field are all big and strong, and have great strength.

But what they couldn't move, someone came and controlled it with just his hands.

This force is too strong.

But the situation was urgent and I didn't have time to think or ask more questions.

Let’s hurry to the basement that simulates an air-raid shelter first.

But as soon as the big iron gate was moved away, billowing smoke and dust swayed from inside and slowly floated out without any hurry.

The air-raid shelter scene is a closed space.

There was an explosion in the closed space, and all kinds of dust, dirt, and prop debris were all blown up.

Moreover, there is no air circulation in the confined space, so the smoke cannot dissipate at all.

Plus the lights were blown out.

So at first glance, the scene is truly pitch dark.

The visibility is even worse than that in the capital city when smog hits at the end of every year.

Anyone taller than one meter is blind.

A props man took two steps forward and his back could no longer be seen by the people behind him.

"Somebody come!"

"Get in quickly!"

"Hurry!"

Only then did Director Guo Jing Yu react and shouted at the top of his lungs.

He is my real brother, not the one who comes after me!
If an accident happens on other film crews, the first reaction of the director and producer may be to calm the situation and reduce the losses.

I'm even more cold-blooded and immoral. I don't care whether you, the actor, live or die. I'll just keep the matter secret for now. I have to finish my job.

People are like this, they don't care about anything that doesn't concern them.

And the more experienced a person is in society, the more this is the case.

If someone is about to drown, he won't even offer his arm, for fear of getting his shoes wet.

But it’s different for Director Guo, this is his family affair.

The movie is not important, my brother is important.

I almost broke my throat from shouting.

Zhang Yuan, who held up the big iron gate, clapped his hands.

The explosion cleared his mind and reminded him that Yang Zhigang almost died in this crew.

It's not just because of the explosion.

The main reason is that after the explosion, there was no way to rescue.

The smoke was so thick that it was impossible to find anyone.

Just like earthquake rescue, why are dogs more useful than humans?

Because the visual conditions are extremely poor, the dog has to rely on its nose to do the work.

The burns after the explosion were also very serious.

Later in her life, Selina was filming in Shanghai, and just like this crew, she encountered an accident on the set while filming a remake of "My Date with Spring".

It was also caused by the explosion scene.

In this accident, besides Selina, there was also the unlucky Yu Haoming.

This incident is very famous and its effect is as sensational as Hu Ge's car accident.

But even with such a serious accident, Yu Haoming's burns were no more than those of Yang Zhigang this time.

You will know how serious it is.

After Yu Haoming was burned, he was immediately rushed to the hospital, and went to Ruijin Hospital, which is the most expert in burns treatment in Shanghai.

Where is Yang Zhigang now?
In the confined space, he was knocked against the wall by the shock wave of the explosion and was knocked unconscious.

And because the rescue was difficult, it took several hours to find the person and send him to the local hospital.

It’s just that he is not an idol star, so not many people pay attention to him.

The actual situation is much more serious than Yu Haoming's.

The entertainment industry is quite cruel. If you are popular, people will pay attention to you. If you are not popular, you are like a grass and no one will know if you die.

Matters of life and death should not be taken lightly.

When this happens, you can't just stand by and watch.

I went to Baiyun Temple to ask questions a while ago. Now that I believe in this, I can't completely ignore it.

There is nothing wrong in avoiding bad things.

Saving lives is a big deal, so consider it as accumulating good karma for yourself.

"Cough cough cough..." The two big brothers who just went in ran out coughing after just one or two minutes.

Not to mention saving lives, it’s even difficult to breathe.

After the eldest brother came out, he held his waist, tears streaming down his face, and he was coughing and spitting saliva.

"Director Guo... cough cough cough... I can't see it, and I can't get in."

"We need to find the police and fire department."

"It's hard to breathe inside and I have to climb down. It's too hard."

The director's hands were numb by now and he had to rely on his assistant to help him stand steady.

"The guys are waiting outside to pick someone up." After Zhang Yuan said this, he took a deep breath and walked inside.

"Hey..." The eldest brother was stunned just after he agreed.

"Who was that just now?"

"He looks familiar."

After entering, you have to walk down several steep stairs before you can reach the ground.

Zhang Yuan had to hold on to the wall to move forward.

My eyes and nose don't work well.

But his hearing has also improved a lot, and his hearing is far better than that of ordinary people.

On ordinary days, if someone chirps crickets nearby, he can hear them clearly.

Luckily he doesn't hold grudges...

At this time, the basement, with no outsiders around, was particularly quiet.

It was so quiet that after entering, he could clearly hear his own heartbeat and even the rumbling of his stomach.

"I shouldn't have eaten the garlic just now."

He muttered to himself, but this environment was especially suitable for his hearing ability.

Groping my way, I turned two corners.

Just when he was about to suffocate, he heard an extremely faint breathing sound coming from the ground in front of him on the right.

Intermittent, with only a thread of breath left.

In this place, besides him, there could only be one breathing creature.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Zhang Yuan was so excited when he found that he had found someone that he couldn't hold his breath and coughed several times.

At the same time, hurry forward.

Bah.

The breathing sounds on the ground suddenly became faster.

Zhang Yuan carefully raised his toes and took a step forward.

I stepped on someone else...

He bent down, exerted force with his arms, and threw a medium-sized man onto his shoulders.

When I raised my nose, I could smell the smell of barbecue.

It's just that what is being roasted is human flesh.

Holding back his nausea, Zhang Yuan relied on his memory and walked out at a slightly faster speed than before...
